Late Nighter's. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

So for all you late nighter's, besides the obvious physical adaptations, do you find you get a lot of work/play done when you stay up late, or do you waste the late hours ?

This is how the family plays ww (in the weekend) when the deadline is 8am their time:

Greenie makes her last post 4.43 am.
Lommy makes her last post 5.21 am.
Nogrod makes his last post 8.08 am.

Wow, it seems that the age / posting time is an exponential function.

I do! More play than work, actually. Sometimes I work best at night, when I slept during the afternoon, but these days I don't have that luxury. My last class ends at 6. I get home at 7. I cook dinner and those kinda stuff until about 9. And then I watch TV. By 12 until around 3 or 4, at worse 6 am, I'm cramming on my papers.

It's only 11.30pm but I think I'll go to sleep now.

It's only 1:21 AM but I have to post in WW yet.

Ought to be struck off for that

Mhm Legate, I personally get very little done late night. A lot of browsing and reading of things- a good time to absorb information.

Time check: 3:18 AM

I was fooling around on the Meadhall discussion thread and figured, my foolery would probably be more apt in this thread.

Right now I'm working on a lab report on the osmoregulation of earthworms, and in a while I shall be starting on an oral report on microcirculation and local control of blood flow in frogs. Both are due in a little over five hours.

Consider this a warning to those young enough to heed it: Do NOT take up Biology.

I have to agree with this. When it gets quite late I mainly just read threads- often old ones. But when it's really late then my brain suddenly switches on.

Yeah, that is interesting. I have written one of my best RPG-ish posts on the 'downs around 5-6am after almost falling asleep on the sofa before that but forcing myself to stay awake because the post had a definite deadline that was early on the morning my time.

Hmm.... I'm starting to get back into the spirit of things.
